README

A simple and efficient PHP settings management package that provides an interface to store and retrieve application settings from a database.

Features

Easy integration with existing database connections
Automatic serialization and deserialization of complex data types
Support for both object-oriented and array-like access to settings
Efficient caching of settings to minimize database queries

Installation

composer require solophp/settings

Requirements

PHP 7.4 or higher
solophp/database

Basic Setup

First, ensure that you have a table for storing settings. The table should have two columns: name (string) and value (string).

Example table schema:

CREATE TABLE `settings` (
  `name` VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
  `value` TEXT NOT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY (`name`)
);

Usage

First, create an instance of the Settings class:

use Solo\Settings;
use Solo\Database;

$database = new Database(/* your database connection parameters */);
$settings = new Settings($database, 'settings_table');

Retrieving Settings

You can retrieve settings using either method calls or property access:

$value = $settings->get('my_setting');
// or
$value = $settings->my_setting;

Storing Settings

Similarly, you can store settings using either method calls or property access:

$settings->set('my_setting', 'new_value');
// or
$settings->my_setting = 'new_value';

Get all Settings

Get all settings as an associative array.:

$settings->getAll();
